Tom Homan, the border czar with a keen understanding of the media’s shenanigans, anticipated the inevitable backlash against President Trump’s administration the moment they dared to enforce immigration laws. It was as predictable as a New Year’s resolution gathering dust by February. In the clever quip of Charlie Kirk, Townhall’s founder, one can almost hear the snickers from conservatives everywhere: the left was about to unleash a flood of tear-jerking stories, complete with “kids in cages” narratives, aimed at swaying public opinion against any tough stance on border security. Homan, however, had a straightforward solution that involved shining a spotlight on the real dangers lurking among the criminal aliens being arrested.
Americans got a front-row seat to the criminality that has been taken off their streets thanks to the efforts of ICE. Last week, the Department of Homeland Security rolled out details about a few particularly unsavory characters. And while a cyber attack on X threw a wrench in embedding their disturbing images, the statistics and stories are still hard-hitting enough to paint a vivid picture of what is at stake.
Among the individuals highlighted was Axel Ramirez-Hernandez, a Guatemalan national arrested by ICE in New York City, who found himself on the wrong side of the law for sexual assault against minors. This wasn’t just some petty crime; it was a horrific act that communities have every right to be outraged about. Then there’s a 40-year-old Bhutanese citizen nabbed in Philadelphia, with a rap sheet that reads like a horror story—rape, sexual assault, and the corruption of minors. It’s clear what kind of ‘refugees’ some are bringing to American soil.
Meanwhile, in New Orleans, a Honduran citizen named Olvin Rodriguez-Inestroza was rounded up on 394 counts related to child pornography and two counts of sexual animal abuse. Talk about a welcomed addition to the neighborhood. And in the so-called progressive bastion of Seattle, Jose Alfredo Verduzco-Sandoval, a Mexican national, had his fun distributing narcotics and facing weapons charges before ICE intervened.
Not to be outdone, ICE in San Francisco apprehended Fernando Menchaca-Fernandez, another Mexican national, whose crime spree included burglary, theft, and possession of a weapon while already incarcerated. The cherry on top of this criminal sundae is Noe Mendoza-Garcia—also a Mexican—who faced charges for the grotesque acts of molestation and rape. This is the reality the media chooses to ignore while they peddle their sob stories about innocent migrants seeking a better life.
In response to these alarming revelations, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign sending a clear message: think twice before breaking our laws. The message is simple but powerful—potential criminal aliens are not welcome here. Those who flout the law can expect to be hunted down, and each arrest is a reminder that America will no longer be a playground for criminals. If only the left cared as much about protecting American lives as they do about defending those who break our laws.
